    China Torpedoes Biosingularity Bid

    by Anatoly Karlin

    “China’s new Criminal Code, which came into effect four weeks ago on March 1st, has a new section dedicated to ‘illegal medical practices’, which makes it a punishable crime to create gene-edited babies, human clones and animal-human chimeras.

    The new section is an amendment to Article 336 of China’s Criminal Law, and officially outlaws “the implantation of genetically-edited or cloned human embryos into human or animal bodies, or the implantation of genetically edited or cloned animal embryos into human bodies,” — with penalties ranging from fines to seven years imprisonment.”

      A step in the right direction.
      But, this is the T.V. side?
      What’s really going on behind the scenes?
      Still, a public policy that’s good; is better than one that seeks any kind of singularity, as a matter of policy.

        Will this just take the research darker? One wonders just what/who the connections are between east and west gov agencies, private corporations, and academia.
